- Vowels of the Present Tense Verb ====================================
There are three important vowels you need to take note of when you conjugate any Arabic verb from past tense to the present tense. These include:
1. The Subject marker vowel, which is the first vowel of the verb;
2. The Stem Vowel, which is the vowel that goes on the second radical/consonant of the root;
3. The Mood Marker Vowel, which is the last vowel of the verb.
